The 1,000 mile Alton system linked Chicago with St. Louis and Kansas City. The company was established in 1931 under the control of the B&O to take over the assets of the Chicago & Alton. B&O sold their stake in the Alton in 1945 to the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio. The Alton Railroad was merged into the GM&O two years later. This run is available in singles and 2-packs, for a total of 3 different road numbers. War Emergency Composite Hoppers were built during the Second World War with wood siding and slope sheets at the direction of the War Production Board in hopes of saving as much steel as possible for the war effort. The car sides were built with the Pratt truss design using a combination of vertical and diagonal ribs. SHIPPING Outside USA Through eBay’s Global Shipping Program ONLY !!!!!
